if the media requested by a restore is not physically within a tape robot,
the restore will sit waiting for the tape. If the tape is loaded and a robot
inventory is done the restore will still sit waiting. you'd have to nudge
the restore via running "vmoprcmd -resubmit x" where x is the mount request
number you'd see when you run vmoprcmd command

maybe this will help - i wrote this scrfipt to run via cron every half hour
24/7 to automatically tell us if a restore was sat waiting on a tape that's
not in the tape robot....
